Pay for calls, not clicks

Done-for-you Paid Ads for AI Startups.

Nobody has ever been able to buy a meeting. Only the chance of one. We make the ads, we run them, and the media comes out of our account. You pay one flat rate for every qualified call that books and shows up, and nothing at all if none do.

Every other agency bills you for effort. We only bill you for a meeting.

A retainer. Your card on the ad account. A dashboard full of impressions. That is the standard deal, and it pays the agency whether or not a single person ever books. So we flipped it: our studio makes the creative, our account funds the media, and the only line on your invoice is the qualified calls that actually showed up. Most agencies optimise for their own invoice. We had to build one that optimises for your calendar, because we do not get paid until it fills.

None of these were ads. That is exactly why they matter.

Three years of launch videos for AI startups, averaging over 100,000 views each. No media budget, no boosting, no paid distribution at all — people watched because the work earned it. That is stopping power, and stopping power is the half of paid advertising that decides whether any of the rest works. It is the only thing we have ever done. It is the first thing most agencies outsource. And it is the reason we are willing to put our own money behind your media.

How It Works

How It Works

You are in two of the four steps.
Neither one costs you anything.

No retainer, no setup fee, no media budget. We build the ads, we buy the traffic with our own money, and you pay one flat rate for the qualified calls that land in your calendar.
Find out your rate
1
The Audit
Thirty minutes on your buyer, your funnel, and what a call is actually worth to you. We agree what counts as a qualified call, and the flat rate we charge for one, in writing before anything goes live.
2
We Make The Ads
Scripts, video, statics and a landing page, built by the studio behind launch videos for HeyGen, Firecrawl and WorkOS. Not a media buyer dropping your logo into a stock template.
3
We Run And Fund Them
Our ad accounts, our money, on the channels your buyer actually uses. We test, kill and rebuild creative every week. You get dashboard access and a report every Monday.
4
You Pay Per Call
Qualified prospects book your calendar. At the end of the month you pay the agreed rate for the ones that showed up. No-shows are on us, not on your invoice.

The Money

The Money

No retainer. No ad spend.
One line on the invoice.

This is the entire commercial relationship. No tier list. Nothing held back for an upsell. We only get paid when the whole machine works, so we run all of it.
Find out your rate
$0 setup fee
Nothing to sign up. No onboarding fee, no minimum term, no notice period.
$0 monthly retainer
You are never billed for a month in which nobody booked. There is no floor and no make-good.
$0 ad spend
Every pound of media comes out of our account. You never top up a balance, never hand over a card, and never see a spend invoice. If a campaign burns money without booking calls, that is our loss.
Flat rate per booked call
Agreed in writing before launch and fixed for the term. What it is depends on who you sell to and how hard they are to reach, so we quote it after the audit call.

We spend first. You pay last. Or never.

"Incredible service. Flowjam handled everything from script to shoot to editing. We ended up with a fantastic video that generated significant pipeline for us - very worth it!"
Amay Aggarwal
"We worked with Flowjam to create a product video announcement for our new launch, kite.ai โ€” and the experience exceeded our expectations. They're fast, professional, and collaborative: guiding you through the process, iterating quickly, and acting on feedback without hesitation."
It's been a real pleasure working with Flowjam. What stood out the most for us was the communication: super smooth, always active and responsive, and any changes we requested were turned around incredibly fast. On top of that, they have a fantastic eye for design and aesthetics, which is key to making sure the final video looks exactly the way you want. Highly recommended!

Huge shoutout to @theadampetty for the vid. I dm'd 20+ motion designers with 4 days until launch. Adam was the only one who said yes. Absolutely incredible results, and an amazing guy to work with.

We had a great experience working with Flowjam! We collaborated closely on two simultaneous video projects and both hit our vision. Being in a startup, we move very fast on projects. Flowjam not only matched that speed, but also delivered high-quality work that we're excited to get into market. We'll continue working with this team!
Flowjam helped us create a 1-minute product video focusing on our most important product features and doubling down on our new AI features. ย 

Extremely happy with the result! The animations are fantastic - the video looks dynamic, modern. They really captured the essence of what we wanted to communicate.

Also, our product is quite complex and they were able to animate it perfectly as we envisioned it. ย The team was patient with us, we went through many changes, shared lots of videos with feedback and instructions. I would 100% recommend anyone to work with them!

About Flowjam & Adam

Adam Petty, founder and creative director of Flowjam
Adam Petty
Founder & Creative Director, Flowjam

I'm Adam, A founder making films for founders.

Hey, I'm Adam, the founder of Flowjam, and the creative eye behind every video we make.

I have spent three years making launch videos for AI startups — HeyGen, Firecrawl, WorkOS, Origami and dozens of YC companies. In that time I watched the same thing happen over and over: a founder pays an agency a retainer, funds the media out of their own pocket, and gets a report instead of a pipeline.

So we took the risk off the table. We make the ads, we run them, and we pay for the media out of our own account. You pay for the qualified calls that show up, and nothing at all if none do.

To be straight with you: we only started buying media in September 2026, so there is no paid-ads case study on this page yet and I am not going to invent one. That is exactly why we are spending our money instead of yours while we build the track record.

If your buyer is worth a sales call, book the audit and I will tell you on the call whether we can make the numbers work for both of us.

Got Questions?
We've Got Answers.

What does a booked call cost?

A flat rate per call, agreed in writing before anything goes live. What it is depends on who you sell to and how hard they are to reach — a CFO at an enterprise costs a lot more to get in front of than a founder at a seed-stage startup. We quote it after the audit call, and it does not change mid-month.

What counts as a qualified call?

A real person, at a company that fits the profile we agree up front, who books time on your calendar and turns up. We write that definition down together before we spend a penny, so there is nothing to argue about later.

Do I pay for no-shows?

No. If they do not turn up, it is not a booked call and it is not billed. That risk sits with us, which is exactly why we care about the quality of the traffic and not just the volume.

You really cover the ad spend?

Yes. Every pound of media budget comes out of our account, not yours. You never top up a balance, never hand over a card, and never see a spend invoice. If a campaign burns money without booking calls, that is our loss.

Who owns the ads and the creative?

You do. Every script, every cut, every raw file and every landing page, worldwide and in perpetuity. If we part ways you keep the whole library and can carry on running it yourself.

What do you need from me?

A sales call in your funnel worth paying for, a calendar we can book into, and someone who answers questions about your product within a day or two. That is it.

Who is this not for?

Self-serve products with no sales motion, anything where the call is a formality, and teams that cannot actually take the calls once they start landing. We qualify hard because our money is on the outcome.

How long before calls start landing?

Usually two to three weeks. Week one is the audit and the creative, then we launch and spend a fortnight finding which ads and which audiences produce calls that show up.

Thirty minutes with Adam.

If we cannot name a flat rate that is profitable for both of us in that half hour, this does not work, and you will know it before we make a single ad. No deck, no proposal, no follow-up sequence.
